An Algorithm for Detecting Seam Cracks in Steel Plates
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we developed an algorithm for detecting seam cracks in a steel plate. Seam cracks are generated in the edge region of a steel plate. We used the Gabor filter and an adaptive double threshold method to detect them. To reduce the number of pseudo defects, features based on the shape of seam cracks were used. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we tested 989 images with seam cracks and 9470 defect-free images. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is suitable for detecting seam cracks. However, it should be improved to increase the true positive rate. Keywords—Defect detection, Gabor filter, machine vision, surface inspection.

Using Pattern Search Algorithm and Finite Element Method to Detect Rotor Cracks
The vibration pattern of a rotor system reflects the mechanical parameter changes in the system. Hence, the use of vibration monitoring is considered as a possible means of detecting the presence and growth of the cracks. In this paper, a pattern search based method for shaft crack detection is proposed and described which formulates the shaft crack detection as an optimization problem by means...

Process monitoring is important for the laser welding system, especially for the weld seam deviation monitoring. A 10kW high power fiber laser butt joint welding of type 304 stainless steel was performed. By combing two different band pass filters, high speed photography was employed to capture the near-infrared images of molten pools. Image difference algorithm was used to obtain the weld seam...
